Hey lighter

I had to search for ZZ Top because I never heard that term/of them.  You're right!

He is my age and we were very best friends when he and my sister were dating.......friends in elementary school and dating, on and off,  through high school. He was 22 when they married. Joe and I lived and worked for far away we didn't make the wedding. He was never the same with me after that...........................?????

This beard has been growing about 40 years and I have no idea what he does with it. He is bald but has that long hair too. He became a High School English Teacher and is now retired.

He is 'shorter', so sometimes his beard took up ½ hhis body height......beard with hips and legs.

It's frizzy and ratty and I really don't like it!

You didn't know who ZZ Top is? 

Singing...... "She got le egs.... she know how ta use'em"

Interesting that he was a teacher, lol.

I can't imagine having all that hair draped over the front of me... ahem.

I can barely stand all the hair, draped down the back of me: /

Dear Carolyn and Leah,

Glad you found the list of emotional needs helpful.  I feel like I may need to check that list daily, to see which needs I need met most.   I guess that's ok eh?  I'm changing, I think.  Before now, that might have seemed too selfish.

 :shock: :shock:  Boy!  Some of the thoughts I have are really .........mis-fire-ings. ( :mrgreen: back to coining new words/phrases again.  It's a defense mechanism, I think).

Beards?

Slinkys?

Bungalows?

ZZ Top?


Ya'll made me smile.  Thanks.

Sela

Hi Leah,

I'm suffering (somewhat) today from a case of.........something I can't put a name to.  Thanks for asking.

Tomorrow will be better.   It usually is eh?

How about you?



Oh lighter!

Interjection is what the "anything" thread is all about.  No worries.

Dear (((((((((Sela))))))))))  Do you suppose maybe you've been feeling a bit wistful?

I am finally coming to believe that it is not a bit selfish to make a list of personal emotional needs and check it twice (or more!)

In fact, I am coming to believe that it is indeed the mature, responsible thing to do!!


Love to you,
Carolyn

Dear ((((( Sela )))))

Sincerely hoping you feel better tomorrow, and uplifted.

Always feel that January is a testing month.

As for me, well, I was feeling sad about the situation regarding my NF

However, what I have done today, is treat myself to something uplifting.  :)

I have ordered a plant ~ which I am going to plant out in my garden, as a plant of life (mine and my son's)

Sounds a bit silly, but, today that's what came to mind, so I simply did it!!

Take gentle care of you, Sela

Love, Leah

Today is a better day!

Hiya Carolyn,

I think you're right about emotional needs (and all basic needs, for that matter).   I'm trying to become more mature and responsible, as I go.  Maybe by the time I'm 90???  :shock: :?

Feeling wistful?  (yesterday).  Ya.  And my feelings were hurt about something but I got over it.  Sometimes I'm too sensitive and I know it.  Some days I just feel like exposed, raw, tissue and bones (no protective skin at all).  Maybe that's a bit gross but it is accurate.  I do long for thick skin, sometimes.  Today I feel all covered over again.  Weird.  I know.  :roll:

Hiya Leah,

What a nice idea there!  Plants are such wonderful examples of life.  What a great way to remind yourselves of what's fresh and strong and full of growth.   Sorry you were feeling sad ((((((((Leah)))))).  You did a good job of turning that whole thing around!

Thankyou both (Carolyn and Leah) for your kind support and encouragement.  You both helped me feel understood and cared about.  Mostly, I was feeling misunderstood, I think, yesterday.   I popped in last eve and read your posts and that feeling lifted, almost instantly.    Your kind, caring words are like salve.

Thankyou.

We all have days eh?  Winter can be a little dark and dismal and I guess it does contribute to my "off" days.  I really should get one of those bright lights you can buy that shoot white light at yourself.  I may have mild S.A.D. or just plain old regular sad days.  Still, the idea of the light sounds like it would brighten me up.......a little like a fresh plant brightens a garden eh?

Reminds me, I better look through my seeds as it will soon be time to start planting my seedlings.  I love seeing them pop their heads out of the soil.  I look forward to it every year!

Take good kind care of you (((((((both)))))) and ((((((all)))))

Oh, your words have truly uplifted me,  "Thank You"  Sela

Yesterday, I looked through my seed catalogue and ordered some seeds, and, this year I plan to grow some vegetables.

I so love seeing the seeds pop their heads out of the compost/soil and spring up into life, and I too, look forward to it every year!

I plan to sow seeds of two of my favorite flower seeds at the weekend.

Take good kind care of you ((((((( Sela ))))))

(((((((Sela)))))))  Thinking of you and hoping you're well.

Somebody sent me this thing and it's kinda neat... thought y'all might get a kick out of it:

http://www.switched.com/2007/10/15/the-trippiest-optical-illusions-on-the-net/

I can see the dancer turn clockwise... and then counterclockwise... both ways.
What do you see?


Oh, Izzy - all we have anymore are cell phones. No land line. Actually cheaper that way!!

Love,
Carolyn

Izzy!!  ROFL  :D  :lol:  :D  :lol:     Oh, I love it! And...  the sadly funny thing is - I have actually had mini episodes like that, where I've answered to someone who wasn't even speaking to me - - even though the whole thing made no sense to me - - just because I didn't know how to say, "Wha??!!??" 

Oh, thank God for an increasingly assertive voice!

Love,
Carolyn
